It starts in the lead up to Reagan and Thatcher. It becomes sufficiently clear to the wealthy elite in the US and UK that economically they were so far ahead of the USSR, that they can simply just focus on looting everything. Everything since then can be seen as a transfer from the many to the few.

I'm with Satchmo in my surprise. I thought the goal was to slowly remove all the protections of Roe, but to do it piecemeal. You'd have bullshit requirements on abortion providers to reduce the access to an absolute minimum. But actually overturning Roe would both heavily motivate all those women who know they've needed abortions in their lives to vote against the maniacs, but also lose the main thing that drives the religious out to vote. Trump only got a bunch of votes last time around because he was going to nominate anti-Roe judges. Next time around, if Roe is overturned, why would they come out for him. It's much safer to slowly remove access (particularly for the poor and minorities - kids of Congressmen can always fly to California or Ireland for more modern treatment) than to create the potential firestorm that comes from moving back to the dark ages.

Fuck sake (on the Trump Ireland visit). Hope he gets the same sort of welcoming ctte at Doonbeg as he got at Turnberry. Fucker adds bugger all to the local economy anyways.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 15-05-2019, 17:02.

How many other convicted felons get a full page in a national newspaper to validate their crimes? Can you spell "remorse" Conrad? It's F-U-C-K Y-O-U -!When my assistant said there was a call from the White House, I picked up, said 'Hello' and started to ask if this was a prank
